So, after reading a lot about the 3 series, I have decided that a 320(preferably diesel automatic) is what would suit my needs and wallet most.
Now, I have read a lot about the car, but still have a few questions that I really haven't found any good answers on.
So I am very, very thankful if you could try to help me
1. The cars I'm looking at has often rolled around 150-200' (maybe even 250k)kilometers. Assuming I make sure it has a fully stamped service book, should I worry about some major problems/expenses that may pop up(maybe due to age/distance travelled?)
2. I know that BMW can be expensive to service, but how often should I be prepared to drive it to mechanic? Every 20' kilometers?
3. The automatic transmission. Should I be aware of any know problems? Or should I even stick to manual?
4. Diesel or not? I am guessing yes, but never hurts to ask.
Looks like an awesome car so I am really hoping that nothing crazy will show up. Thank you in advance!
Edit: and of course I may have forgotten something, so feel free to give your impressions of the car if you would like
